Alexânia

Alexânia is a municipality in central Goiás situated at an elevation of 1,096 meters. The town spreads across 847 square kilometers positioned between the major cities of Brasília and Goiânia.

The settlement was founded in 1957 when landowner Alex Abdallah distributed free land plots during Brasília's construction. This land distribution shaped the community's early growth and character.

The town has deep roots in making sugarcane spirit using traditional methods. Local brands like Cambeba and Cachaça do Ministro reflect how this craft defines the place for people who live and work here.

The city connects to major centers via highway GO-060, located about 130 kilometers from Brasília and 118 kilometers from Goiânia. This position makes day trips to both cities straightforward and manageable.

The region stands out for its mixed farming approach, with roughly 638 farms producing soybeans, corn, and raising significant poultry operations. This blend of crops and livestock remains central to what sustains the local economy today.
